The super lord of the island

Chapter 328 327. Another harvest season, field trip
August eighteenth
The autumn wind is bleak, and the fallen leaves are golden.

In addition to fallen leaves, the vast wheat fields are connected into a golden ocean. The heavy wheat ears almost bend the wheat stalks, and the rich wheat fragrance floats in the wind.

Su Ge held the sickle and looked at the densely packed piles of wheat ears, feeling like he had no way to put his foot down.

"Brother Sugar! What are you thinking about? The field next to you has started to be cut! We have to hurry up!"

On the field, Xiaowei shouted to Su Ge who was in a daze.

"I remember we didn't plant the seeds so densely! Why, after a year of growth, it feels like there are almost one ear next to one ear. The wheat kernels are also extraordinarily big."

"Although the wheat kernels are a bit big, they are delicious!"

"Uh...you're such a snack."

Su Ge smiled and stopped arguing with Xiaowei. He rolled up his sleeves and bent over to do it. The crops of wheat were separated by their roots, tied into bundles and piled on the ridge of the field. He soon caught up with the progress of the field next door.

The moisture content of mature wheat is very low, and when the autumn wind blows, the wheat grains with bran can fall off the wheat stalks with just a gentle beating.

Moreover, the outermost layer of bran of wheat grains is a natural protective layer. After falling off, the wheat grains can be stored in breathable and moisture-proof linen woven bags.

Generally speaking, it can be stored for more than three years without deterioration under suitable conditions.

If the wheat grains with bran are ground into powder, it is the common whole wheat flour on the market. According to the thickness, it can be divided into fine grinding and coarse grinding.

If the wheat bran is removed by hand and only the most essence of wheat milk and germ are used to grind the flour, it will be refined wheat flour used for baking high-end white bread.

Because the processing process consumes manpower and increases the loss of wheat bran, the price of refined wheat flour is quite high, and few civilians would choose such a luxurious food.

In Aurora Town, except for the castle, which uses fine wheat flour, all other local canteens use finely ground whole wheat flour to make staple food.

The fresh wheat grains harvested this year will be put into storage after being weighed by the Ministry of Agriculture to serve as the territory’s rations for the coming year.

Considering the busy government affairs, Jialan did not summon them to the castle for a meeting, but decided to go to the field to inspect the autumn harvest results in person.

……

……

After walking out of the castle, Jialan led Elena to the south. After passing through the fence of the first ring area, what he saw was the entire 530 acres of southern cultivated land.

Among them, 200 acres of land in Nanmai Village were planted with potatoes after spring sowing. Now the potatoes have been harvested and sold.

However, before autumn approached, Jialan used 200 acres of seasonal wheat fields on the 70 acres of open land. Together with the remaining 330 acres, there were a total of 400 acres of mature crops.

Most of it is wheat, and a small part is crops such as rye, barley, and corn, which are also grasses.

Although the varieties are different, their yields are almost the same after being increased by the sea elf Fizz's growth.

Soon, Jialan saw Mai He on the main road of the wheat field.

"Mai He has met the Lord! He has met Miss Elena."

There were many people at the scene, and under the example of Youmahe, everyone knelt down facing Jialan Wuyangyang.

"Ahem~ It doesn't matter, everyone, get up, don't delay your work."

"Yes."

Mai He shouted, and the surroundings instantly returned to an orderly appearance.

"Has this year's production been released?" Jialan asked directly.

“There are no complete statistics yet, but looking at the completed parts, the yield per mu of all crops is between 4500 and 5000 kilograms, which is not much different from last year.

However, the yield of the 70 acres of wheat fields that fell near the autumn harvest was low, with the yield per mu being around 3500 kilograms. "

"Well, this is normal."

Jialan nodded without explaining too much, watching the black spots move among the fields in the distance.

"There are a lot of people, how much has been harvested?" "Mag has mobilized all the manpower to open up the third ring area. Nearly half of the area has been harvested in just one week. It is expected that all harvesting and storage work will be completed within this month."

"Okay, come back to me and report the production situation after everything is put into storage. You can stay busy here, and I will take a look south."

"Yes."

Mai He bowed his head and responded.

Continue walking south along the main wheat field road and enter the Nanmai Village residential area.

The village structure is simple.

A main road runs through Nanmai Village and continues to the south. In the center of the village is a large canteen, where all residents eat.

Roads radiate from the canteen to the surrounding areas, parallel to the main road. There are dense rows of wooden houses on both sides of the road.

There are six public toilets scattered around the village, two of which have been retrofitted with upgrade cards.

In the entire village, except for the two public toilets and the large and small roads, which are made of stone, the rest of the buildings are all wooden structures.

After looking at the architecture, let’s talk about the residents.

The first batch of residents of Nanmai Village were 2000 people who migrated from Beimai Village. They were old people who had traveled to the cultivated land in the north and had lived on Sunless Island for more than a year.

Later, in order to solve the problem of shortage of manpower, Jiguang Town introduced another [-] immigrants from other islands, [-] of whom settled in Nanmai Village.

So now there are 500 people in Nanmai Village, and 3000 people in Beimai Village, which was established first.

Looking at the crowded houses in the village, Jialan sighed secretly.

He had thought about renovating the village earlier, but major projects in the territory were going on one after another, and the construction department had been unable to spare manpower.

To this day, the two villages remain the same.

Elena, who was accompanying him, seemed to see what Jialan was thinking, so she took his arm and comforted him.

"Master, you don't have to take all the responsibility on yourself. I still remember that when we were on the island, there were only a few dozen stone houses on the entire site, and even Aurora Village hadn't been established yet.

Residents living in the village believe that as long as the time is right, they will one day upgrade to bigger houses. "

Jialan nodded, shook her head, and sighed.

"Let's see if we have time this winter. After all, so many people are idle, so mobilizing them will be a big force."

Winter is the slack season for farming, and agricultural workers account for the largest proportion of the territory. When the municipal government issues an additional winter project remuneration, it is bound to attract many residents to actively participate.

Of course, this is all a matter for later, and the specific operation will have to be discussed and decided at a meeting after the autumn harvest has subsided.

Passing through Nanmai Village, the main road does not end. To the south of Nanmai Village, there is still a part of wheat fields, and at the end of this part of the wheat fields is the reed chicken breeding base.

"Lord Jialan, you are here."

Ravi, the farm manager, trotted respectfully and opened the door, inviting Jialan and Elena to enter the breeding area.

Unlike farmland, farms are managed in a closed manner. No outsiders are allowed to enter without permission. Even the workers in the farms live in the farms in most cases, eating and living with the [-] reed chickens. .

"Thank you for your hard work, Ravi."

"Where, it is an honor for ordinary people to work for the lord." Ravi said humbly.

"Calculating time, the first batch of three-month-old reed chicken cubs are already fourteen months old."

"Your Excellency's inference is correct. The breeding farm has accumulated two batches of reed chickens that can be sold, one is thirteen months old and the other is fourteen months old, totaling [-]. The villain has already reported it to Minister McGonagall. Waiting for the next step. One step notice.”

"Well, what about the eggs? How many are there?"
